(3 - 2) x

Subtract the numbers

x

x + 1 + 3

Add the numbers

x + 4

3 x - 4 = x + 4

Move the expression to the left side

3 x - 4 - x = 4

Move the expression to the right side

3 x - x = 4 + 4

Add and subtract

More Steps

Evaluate

3 x - x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(3 - 1) x
